Solid-state properties of dried protein formulations are important for stability and functionality of the product. This study investigates how different drying technologies (freeze-drying with and without annealing, spray drying and spray-freeze drying) affect the structure and solid-state properties of a set of matrix formulations composed of trehalose (glass former) and mannitol (scaffolding age

The extraction of the W-boson mass, a fundamental parameter of the Standard Model, from hadron-hadron collision requires precise theory predictions. In this regard, angular coefficients are crucial to model the dynamics of W-boson production. In this work, we provide, for the first time, angular coefficients at NNLO QCD + NLO EW accuracy for finite transverse momentum W-boson at the LHC. The corre

We use principal component analysis to study the hydrodynamic attractor in Yang-Mills kinetic theory undergoing the Bjorken expansion with color glass condensate initial conditions. The late-time hydrodynamic attractor is characterized by a single principal component determining the overall energy scale. How it is reached is governed by the disappearance of single subleading principal component ch

Researchers have proposed hardware, software, and algorithmic optimizations to improve the computational performance of deep learning. While some of these optimizations perform the same operations faster (e.g., increasing GPU clock speed), many others modify the semantics of the training procedure (e.g., reduced precision), and can impact the final model's accuracy on unseen data. Due to a lack of

We propose a generalisation of a behaviour tree and motiongenerator based robot arm policy representation for learning and solving tasks such as contact-rich tasks like peg insertion or pushing an object. We use planning to generate skill sequences needed to execute these tasks and rely on reinforcement learning to obtain parameters of the policy. We assume gaussian processes as a suitable method

The presence of conventional dendritic cells type 1 (cDC1) in the tumor correlates with positive treatment outcome. The ability to cross-present neoantigens and prime protective CD8+ T-cell responses, makes cDC1s central for tumor immunity. However, in tumors cDC1 are rare and often functionally impaired. Our group reported that overexpression of the transcription factors PU.1, IRF8 and BATF3 (PIB

Background: Around 70% of all ICU patients are treated with antibiotics whereas up to 30% are suggested as unnecessary. Measuring antibiotic consumption is a prerequisite to improving its use and the purpose of the present investigation was to explore the use of antibiotics in Swedish ICUs. Material and methods: Daily Defined Doses (DDDs) of antimicrobials delivered to Swedish ICUs, 2016–2018, wer

Project NLITED – New Level of Integrated Techniques for Daylighting Education - is an educational project for students and professionals. The project's objective is to create and develop an online eLearning platform with 32 eModules dedicated to daylight knowledge. The project also offers e-learners two summer school training where the theoryis put into practice. The platform was launched on Janua

The safety of the cells used for Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products is crucial for patients. Reliable methods for the cell purification are very important for the commercialization of those new therapies. With the large production scale envisioned for commercialization, the cell isolation methods need to be efficient, robust, operationally simple and generic while ensuring cell biological functio

This study explored all-cause mortality of bacteremia diagnosed during a 60-day non-physician healthcare worker strike in 2008. A significant change, with 5.0% (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.2-8.7%, P < .01) absolute risk increase, was seen in 90-day mortality during the strike (n = 598) compared with the rest of the study period 2000-2015 (n = 75 647).

Idén till den här antologin föddes för flera år sedan, i samband med densenaste processen kring legitimation för kuratorer inom hälso- och sjuk-vården. Under våren 2018, efter att fackförbundet SSR vid ett flertal tillfäl-len sedan 1967 initierat och drivit frågan, fattade Utbildningsdepartementet,i enlighet med Socialstyrelsens bedömning (2014), slutligen beslutet attinföra legitimation. I juli 2

OBJECTIVE: Trigger finger (TF) is a hand disorder causing the fingers to painfully lock in flexion. Diabetes is a known risk factor; however, whether strict glycemic control effectively lowers risk of TF is unknown. Our aim was to examine whether high HbA1c was associated with increased risk of TF among individuals with diabetes.RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: The Swedish National Diabetes Register (

The flow around a smooth and rigid tube (circular cylinder) in cross flow has been investigated experimentally. The experiments were carried out in a closed-circuit low-speed wind tunnel. Two test tubes (diameters 41 and 120 mm, respectively) fitted with end plates were used. The fluctuating pressures on the tube surface were sensed by microphones in pinhole arrangements while the modulus of the s

Being able to discriminate poorly justified from well justified arguments is necessary for informed citizenship. However, it is not known whether the ability to recognize argument strength generalizes across different types of arguments, and what cognitive factors predict this ability or these abilities. Drawing on the theory of argument schemes, we examined arguments from consequence, analogy, sy
